I vote that article the most irrelevant piece of journalism of the year.

What's the point of that? Justify the mediocre records of the Top 10?

Here's a different spin. Teams like LSU, under Coach Miles specifically, give kids who would otherwise not earn a degree, a chance to have a quality life AFTER football.

Right. Also, standardized entrance exams are not a good benchmark for quality of character or the actual success a student accomplishes after college, i.e. many with low ACT/SAT scores entering college, have worked hard to obtain their degree and have had extremely productive careers after college. People look for ways to compare brightness, or intelligence, and GPAs/entrance exams provide that, but really do not speak toward that FLA players will be less successful student-athletes, or less productive members of society.

they all have a chance at a quality life regardless. the horrible admissions standards in the name of athletics just means that many kids wont try to do the best they can in school because they dont have to.
